      ​@@andreweyerly8455well truck designers today are what i like to call ex lego designers for some trucks truck designers in orwells day were truck designers they thought what do the truckers like and need in a truck so ok comfort wasnt the best in the cabovers because of the humo in the cab but we can give the driver cmgort in the bed and give the trucker both style and horse power and transmission but they made the truck reliable hensw why alot of guys in the u.s and europe still run old trucks like orwell and in europe alot of guys are still driving trucks from 1995 to pre 2005

    In the seventies, the AMT model co. sold a 1/25 scale Pete cab over , called the

    On the original model issued box is an artist illustration , of the Pete, with full red and blue graphics on white cab.
    I think I’d be cool to see how those looked ,

    That 352 is a beauty, it has the 352 / 359 front bumper. I'd drop a C model 3406 and a 13 speed road ranger with a Lipe clutch in it and put 150 gallon tanks on it and make these slant nose curb sniffers cry. She has a whole lot of potential and can be a money maker it just depends on how far you want to take it. Its your truck brother so do with it as you will and we'll keep watching, you're rather entertaining.

    Two or more cabovers close to each other is a very rare site here in the USA🇺🇸 nowadays. I remember I saw cabovers everywhere back in the 1980s & down. Nowadays the only cabovers I see around are fire trucks, garbage trucks, yard spotters, crane trucks, concrete pumper trucks, small non semi trucks like those Isuzus, & a few other kinds of straight trucks. The length & weight limits increased which were what eliminated the need for cabovers.

    I had commented on a previous with a question about the yellow. And now i have half an answer. I asked why u would't put a third axle under the yellow truck instead of under Orwell. But know we know that the frame on the yellow truck is useless at this point. Love the shop vids Steve, keep them coming

    Dirt Perfect has a project truck where he had to alter the umber of axles, he cut the frame in 2 and had blocks holding the pieces level, welded extension pieces to the frame and welded it back together. So the 6 by 6 retired army truck is now a 6 by 6 with a tag axle. I think he has a playlist for this project, Lt. Dan being it's name.
    it only needs a skilled welder and the extra lengths of frame steel to make a frame fit more axles.

    Don't worry about your rusted rear wheel its nothing a can of bumper chrome can't fix. Otherwise just drive it who cares what others think.

    Yep the rear part of the 352 chassis is well how can I put it "done". And it's my understanding that Jake brakes for 3406A's is a good news, bad news story. I understand that it's possible, the problem is finding the kits.
